Rev. Shirley was a very good friend of me and my late husband Rev. Ronald Hayes. Whatever she could do to help others she would inspite of her condition. She was full of love and joy to all. She will surely be missed. Please accept my sincere condolences. I will keep the family in my prayers. Deacon Ferebee Hayes - St. Paul's BaptIst Church
